How beautiful your steps within the sandals, Daughter shaped with dignity and grace. Every curve is formed like careful workmanship; Your body holds abundance and delight. Your neck is ivory, your eyes are quiet pools, Your bearing rises like the heights of Carmel. Your hair is royal purple in the sunlight; Even a king is held within its flowing. You rise before me like a living palm tree, And your sweetness gathers like its fruit. How fair and pleasant you are, my love; Desire and beauty meet within your presence. May your kisses flow like excellent wine, Moving gently over sleeping lips. I am my beloved's; His desire is turned toward me. Come, my love, let us go into the country; Let us spend the night among the villages. We will rise early and examine every vineyard, See whether tender grapes and blossoms have appeared. There among the vines I will give you my love; Mandrakes breathe their fragrance by the door. New fruit and old are waiting in our keeping, Treasures I have saved for you alone.
